The quintessence of nature mysticism
'Weiland' is Empyrium's fourth album and embodies the quintessence of this unique band. Still performed acoustically, it combines the atmospheric suspense of the first two albums (e.g., "Heimkehr", "Die Schwäne im Schilf") with the pensive still lives of "Where At Night ..." (e.g., 'Kein Hirtenfeuer glimmt mehr', 'Nebel'). The musical spectrum of the project is enriched through the re-integration of drums and the introduction of instruments such as viola, violin, bassoon, or Mellotron, so there is also a lot to discover for those who already know Empyrium. The album is entirely devoted to nature mysticism. In its three chapters - Marsh, Forest, and Water -, Empyrium portray their view of nature in romantic and legendary ways.
Tracklist:
Chapter 1: Heidestimmung
01. Kein Hirtenfeuer Glimmt Mehr
02. Heimwärts

04. Fortgang

The precursor for "Weiland"
Their third album sees Empyrium abandoning the Metal elements of their music for the first time, instantly creating a classic of nature-romantic acoustic music.

Tracklist:
1. Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays
2. Dying Brokenhearted
3. The Shepherd And The Maiden Ghost
4. The Sad Song Of The Wind
5. Wehmut

Zbrusu nové, dlouho očekávané a dlouho odkládané (vychází na indickém labelu a díky C-19 komplikacím se vydání protáhlo o 2 roky!) album nejlepší české doom metalové kapely je konečně venku. Krásný masívní osmi panelový digipack.
Czech doom metal band Et Moriemur set new standards for themselves with their previous Greek-themed album 'Epigrammata' which borrowed elements of death and black metal and flawlessly integrated them in their unique brand of atmospheric doom metal. This time they're exploring Japanese themes and have frankly outdone themselves. It's rare to come across bands that are constantly reinventing themselves without losing their core sound and Et Moriemur are doing just that and taking the sound ahead in ways previously unimagined. An album to be heard from start to finish, it makes you experience various moods and sounds, having employed the services of several musicians in addition to their own, playing traditional instruments such as shakuhachi and others like...
Velmi pěkný gothic doom metal s klávesy a ženským vokálem. Kapela se později přetransformovala do pagan gothic folkových The Moon and the Nightspirit. Maďarsko.
Doom metal s prvky funeral doomu, sludge a drone metalu. Digipack. Španělsko.
Experimental doom metal from Spain. More than five years after the acclaimed untitled demo (also known as Veiled), Excurse returns to unveil the secrets of Aion into the shape of a first full-length album. The album was recorded by multi-instrumentalist M.S. (Arkaik Excruciation, Sudaria, Suspiral...) between late 2017 and early 2018 in 3 different sessions of chaos invocation.
A unique blend of traditional doom metal, drone doom, funeral doom and sludge metal resulting in a dark and haunting audio experience that remained private until now.
Hutný old school doom metal ve stylu starých My Dying Bride / Paradise Lost. Francie.
6 skladeb (54 minut) pravověrného hutného doom metalu ve stylu Ataraxie, starých My Dying Bride, Funeralium, Evoken. Francie.
Stoner doom metal. Holandsko.
Druhé album turecké doom / death metalové kapely.
Second album of this amazing Turkish band!
FORGOTTEN exists for almost 25 years and from the real underground are ready to make the next step to the elite of metal. “Of Past And Passion” is a great album that includes all doom/death metal standards, plus they are mixed with classic doom and epic metal moments, making the whole listening much more interesting with their superb melodies and atmospheres.
For fans of Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Tiatat, Rotting Christ, Black Sabbath, Cathedral, Candlemass, Amorphis.
Debutní album doom death metalového projektu z Ukrajiny.
Emotions and messages conveyed by Fretting Obscurity are based on philosophical existentialism and the works of Jean-Paul Sartre. The title of the project speaks of fundamental unknowableness and hostility of the physical realm.
The image used in the title of the album - flags in the dust - was borrowed from William Faulkner. It is a symbol of formally announced ethical values that are not observed in practice in the era of bigotry, consumption and torpor.
As for the music itself, the style of the project was shaped by a 'three-guitar canon' as represented by Mournful Congregation and tends towards the use of multiple layers with occasional heavy passages and doom-death riffs.
Třetí album této velice extrémní a chorobné doom death metalové kapely. 4 skladby na ploše 93 minut vychází jako dvojCD. Francie.
3rd album of French extreme doom/death. Their previous album "Deceived Idealism" was double CD album, which contained 6 songs. This album is also double CD, which contains 4 doomed hymns over 90 minutes! Extremely slow suffocating rhythm accompanied by crushing doomed low freqency. Hypnotic minimalistic riffs with eerie harmonies. Deep growling and hysteric screams. They are still walking on the same doomed path of "Deceived Idealism". They are walking into much darker and bleaker realm of extreme doom/death!
Mrazivý astrální náladotvůrný doom metal. 40-ti minutový hypnotický vesmírný trip rozdělený na 5 částí. Necrocosmos. Fractal Dimension. Time Traveller. X-Rayed By Stars. Cosmic Pilgrims. Album vychází jako jewel case s krásným 12-ti str. bookletem.
Novým přírustkem u Epidemie Records se stává polská kapela GALLILEOUS. Počátky kapely sahají až do roku 1992. V roce 1994 natočili kultovní demo „Passio Et Mors“ (znovu vyšlo v roce 2008 na CD), které se neslo v duchu ryzího funeral doom metalu. Během let se sound GALLILEOUS v rámci doom metalu různě posouval až do současné podoby, kdy hrají velice hypnotický, mrazivý, astrální doom metal. Zbrusu nové album „Necrocosmos“ vyšlo v lednu 2013 a zajisté potěší příznivce Corrupted, Om, Umbra Nihil a hypnotického doom metalu.
V reedici na 1 CD vydané stará dema z 90-tých let této řecké kapely. Krásný hutný náladotvůrný doom metal té doby.
Greek doom/death metallers GARDEN OF GODS (featuring singer Stefanos Kintzoglou, ex- singer of On Thorns I Lay!)) is another group that helped the Greek metal scene to grow up in a more professional enviroment.
The band released 2 demos during the ’90s, which had a great feedback among the fans, but they never released on an official cd. Something we are doing now, and proudly present to all of you another hidden diamond of the amazing Greek metal!
“Confines Of Mortality” includes the band’s both demos, in a remastered edition, plus 3 bonus live tracks!
For fans of Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Saturnus, On Thorns I Lay, Swallow The Sun, Nightfall, Septic Flesh, Cemetary, Lake Of Tears, Amorphis, Katatonia.
Opět k dostání debutní album z roku 2000 této velmi pozoruhodné norské kapely. Monumentální atmosférický doom psychedelic progressive metal. Digipack.
The debut album by the spearheads of Doom Metal
On their debut "Journey To The End Of The Night", Green Carnation (who back then featured illustrious guest musicians such as the Botteri twins from In The Woods ... and Vibeke Stene from Tristania) combine Black, Death, Doom, and Heavy Metal to a unique style that is hard to compare to other bands. At best, you could describe the Psychedelic Doom Metal on "Journey ..." as a cross between Pink Floyd and Candlemass.
Nádherný severský atmosférický melancholický metal. Digipack.
One year after their debut "Journey to the end of the night" (featuring Vibeke from Tristania and the Botteri twins from In The Woods ...), Green Carnation released their second album "Light of day, day of darkness" in 2001. This was the first solo album of master-mind Tchort and contains just one 60-minute track - his musical legacy. He is being supported by Kobro (Carpathian Forest) who returned to Green Carnation after 10 years of absence, guest vocalist Jan Kenneth Transit (In The Woods..., Naervaer), a children's choir, a classical choir and sitar players.
V reedici vydané debutní album z roku 1997 této americké doom metalové kapely. Krásný hutný doom metal jak se v té době hrál.
In 1996, the band Eve Of Mourning was born, which changed its name to Gray Skies Fallen in 1997. Over the years, the musicians have released great releases. In January 2020, album "Cold Dead Lands" was released by label Old Souls Collective. Meet the reissue of this wonderful full-length! Artwork by Travis Smith. Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios. Reissue contains an 8-page booklet and a new design.
